Top 5 Biggest Hands on High Stakes Poker #4

Another very famous pot from High Stakes Poker, which teaches several lessons at once:

1. Even when you make the nuts on the turn, like Antonius does here, you can get drawn out. Gambling in his spot as he did with the gut shot was risky, and though he was the favorite when the money went […]

Jamie Gold Bluff Analysis

I’m not the biggest Jamie Gold fan in the world, but I did enjoy this play from him, reraising a bet from what seemed like a not so strong hand, restealing if you will. Nice to hear him discuss his insight. He is not as big of a donk as I have labeled him, though […]

More Hellmuth Whining for Monday

Mondays suck, huh?
So do whiners in poker. Here’s to whining on a Monday.

“I couldn’t put him reraising me with the Ace ten, donkey stuff.”
I know I’ve talked about it a lot, but I don’t know why these guys continue to play cards with Hellmuth.
Oh yeah, he sucks at cash games.
I don’t see playing ace four […]

This one always makes me laugh.

Nothing like a good Pretend to still be in the Pot bet.

Daniel Negreanu Hand Analysis

Interesting to see Daniel’s discussion of the hand here, pretty dead on as always, though I do think it’s a tough fold even with the reraise. Ultimately only losing $15k is less than a lot of other players would have lost, though I would be interested to see what would happen if the clubs hadn’t […]

Feeling Good

This week in the b5 sports channel, we’re talking a bit about ‘feeling good,’ which is a thing that poker honestly hasn’t been making me do lately, as I seem to be continuing the cold card slump that made me take a 4 month break. I really can’t remember the last time I made a […]

Ridiculous Hand

I’ve seen some pretty ridiculous hands in poker, on TV and live, but this fifteen minute back and forth between Sam Farha and Jamie Gold on High Stakes Poker might be simultaneously the most ridiculous and rather annoying bunch of table talk ever.
How Jamie Gold still has any of his $10 million, I have no […]

Play incentives

I’ve seen a lot of incentives added by house games to induce action at the table lately. I like these options added as it tends to keep the game up and moving and never allows it to become too stagnant, as your regular blind no limit game can sometimes fall into if you have too […]

High Stakes Season 4

I love High Stakes Poker on TV. It is always fun to watch. I recently dropped my cable so I can’t watch it on GSN anymore. But there are plenty of places around the web that have it chopped up into clips.
Here is Season 4 Episode 1: link.
You can follow from that page to other […]

Folding pairs before the flop

It hurts to fold a pair before the flop. Even ducks. I hate the feeling that comes between the folding of a pair and the flop coming out on the table. I get this pinchy gut bubble that sometimes makes me stand up and go in the other room. There’s nothing worse than being forced […]
